Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Isiah Thomas' New Job:

Thomas was a great basketball player, one of the greatest players in the history of the game. But since he retired as a player he's shown beyond dispute that the only thing he can run is a pick and roll. He's like the anti-Midas when he's put in charge of anything. I wouldn't hire him to run a Taco Bell; he'd trade a good assistant manager to Wendy's for a terrible fry cook with leprosy and pay the new guy ten times what he's worth.

Neverminding, of course, that Taco Bell doesn't even NEED a "fry cook".

Update: Ed's penchant for metaphore is at a high today:
Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Joe the Plumber at Lansing Tea Party:

We had one of those big tea party protests in Lansing, Michigan on Wednesday and it included an appearance by the Kato Kaelin of politics, Joe the Plumber.

I think that was the point.

probably, but i'm thinking not everybody can see the triple-joke in the one liner.
